I started playing again because it seemed to be about time, and suddenly this new patch drops.
Now Horizons players have the tech (ie gfx, planet generation, etc) from Odyssey (but no on-foot).
And of course, the big in-game event concludes. I'm not gonna drop a spoiler, but it looks like things are heating up with the Thargoids.

When you log in after the new patch, you get a video of the end of the previous storyline, that's all I'll say. I may just start doing some bug hunting.....


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

I'll reinstall when Frontier adds new ships and adds the ability to walk around your own ship so you can explore it. According to Steam I've put in about 1,700 hours into the game so I think I've gotten my fill until if/when Frontier adds more content.

Thanks DB, not sure what I want to do about the Thargoids yet, but its good to have options!

I remember feeling like I've crapped my pants the first time I encountered a Thargoid. I had just finished picking up some alien artifacts from some planet surface in my UNARMED Type 10 mining ship and when I entered FTL mode it was suddenly interrupted and my ship came to a complete halt and I lost all power. I then saw the Thargoid ship fly past me but it never attacked. I'm assuming it didn't attack me since my ship was unarmed.

I think that was my experience as well Panzer in the only encounter I've ever had with one.

I only briefly watched the new intro, is it now all-out hostility? What about unarmed ships?

No idea. I think a lot if it is still being sorted out by the community. I haven't personally done anything Thargoid related.
I've been busy watching asteroids go boom. Kinda relaxing to fly through a belt, pop an occasional rock, and cash in.
It also seems to me like finding them has gotten easier in Odyssey. At least they seem more evident to me than they did in Horizons.
